Chinese mum whose young kids were thrown from 15th floor by their dad reveals new romance
Grieving mother of two dead children faces a mixed reaction on social media after she hooks up with ‘bad boy with charm’
The heartbroken Chinese mother whose son and daughter were killed when they were thrown from their 15th-floor home by their father five years ago has announced a new romantic relationship, sparking controversy online.
Tragedy struck on November 2, 2020, when Chen Meilin’s children, her two-year-old daughter Xuexue and one-year-old son Ruirui, were thrown out of the window of their father’s 15th-floor flat in southwestern China’s Chongqing Municipality.
The father, Zhang Bo, committed the horrific crime so that he could wed his girlfriend, Ye Chengchen, who refused to marry a man who had children.
Ye had been involved in an affair with Zhang before his divorce.
Both Zhang and Ye were sentenced to death. They were executed in January 2024.
On September 24, Chen announced to her more than 510,000 social media followers that she was starting a new chapter in her life.
She shared a photo of herself and her new boyfriend, known online as Lage, wearing matching rings.
